Prostate cancer

Hi. I’ve just been diagnosed with prostate cancer and am feeling very upset, scared and anxious. My cancer hasn’t spread out of the prostate (apparently) but I’m waiting a bone scan. What is the chance it might be in my bones? I have one 4-3 and a few 3-4 results

  • Hi.

    I’m sorry to hear your news. 
    I had a psa of 9. Blood test on a Thursday early November, the next day I had a text to say to get in touch with my doctor, luckily got a cancellation appointment for the following Tuesday then got mri on that Thursday!! Results from mri took two weeks, biopsy a week or two after that then biopsy results Christmas Eve. Just waiting for bone scan, should be next week hopefully then operation soon after that is what I’ve been told. All results apart from the initial blood test (doctor) have been from the hospital and biopsy from the consultant at the same hospital. Hope this helps and good luck
